Production Process

Before I did anything (apart from the script) I wrote down and drew the storyboard so that I could refer to it at a later date. I enjoyed doing my storyboards as doing a script gave a good feel to how it would sound orally and be a more precise direction to the actor's involved, the storyboard was more of a creative aspect that allowed me to replicate what I had though on to a canvas which could then be translated to an on-screen version through the use of camera's, Movieplus and a bit of Adobe After Effects.

This was my first attempt of making a title sequence and most likely the one I will use in the final product, I am extremely proud of this and find it very relevant to the final media piece. It took me quite a while to make (1-2 Hours) as I had to learn "Serif MoviePlus x5" shortcuts and basics due to my knowledge on "Sony Vegas 9" instead, seen as this was a much more complex movie editing software and took some adapting to the more family friendly alternative of "MoviePlus".

Unfortunately after doing a very good job of the movie opening title, I found the latter of designing as good credits roll extremely hard as it didnt have a kinetic transition on "Movieplus X5", I tried using After Effects and after deciding it was extremely hard to make some of the most basic effects I gave up after an hour and a half of watching youtube tutorials to no provail.



This was my original script which allowed me to expand upon it and add things piece by piece. Although my film doesnt have much dialogue I wanted the script to specify more about actions and facial expressions so that it seems much more of a heartfelt story that viewers can relate to. After beginning to film I had to slightly alter the script quite an amount to maintain the feeling of isolation and confusion that I wanted the short film to have. Because of this had to change the script quite a substantial amount and have much less speech and remove some scenes due to there technical difficulties e.g (the car scene)
